“I know,” Ye Shaoxian said with an impatient and cold voice.
Watching her son’s frosty demeanor, a surge of resentment welled up in Madam Liu’s eyes before she turned and left.
Once the room quieted down, Ye Shaoxian let out a cold laugh. He thought, ‘I’ll remember that crazy woman. No matter who she is, once I found her, I’d make sure she paid.’
Outside the room, Madam Liu questioned the maid, “Has Minghang returned yet? And that wretched Silai? Where did she run off to?”
The maid, head bowed and cautious, replied, “Madam, Master Hang hasn’t returned yet. He will definitely be back for tonight’s family dinner. As for Madam Liang…”
“Ugh! What Madam Liang? She’s nothing but a husband-stealer! If I hear you call her that again, I’ll tear your mouths apart!” Madam Liu roared.
The maid’s unfinished words were cut short as Madam Liu slapped her hard across the face, leaving her clutching her cheek in pain and humiliation.
“Tell me, where did that wretch Liang go? Is she seducing Minghang again?” Madam Liu continued her interrogation.
The maid, having learned her lesson, spoke even more cautiously, “Yes, Madam. I heard Madam Liang went with Master Hang to Cloudsurf Temple.” “Hmph, Cloudsurf Temple! What can she do there? Pray for a child? With her vile nature, I doubt she can bear a son!” Madam Liu cursed as she walked to her room, the maid not daring to utter another word.
The large Ye residence, aside from Old Master Ye’s peaceful quarters, was a mess everywhere else.
Time flew, and soon it was 6 p.m., Mrs. Ye Sr. arrived in the living room with Madam Liu, chatting idly.
Liang Silai returned as well, standing meekly by the side without a seat, just like a maid, not allowed to sit without permission from Mrs. Ye Sr. and Madam Liu.
Ye Minghang had retreated to his study, leaving the three women to their conversation, never once looking at Madam Liu directly.
Naturally, Madam Liu was furious, but there was nothing she could do. She could only vent all her pent-up anger on Liang Silai.
Liang Silai, seemingly accustomed to this life, remained silent no matter how much Madam Liu ranted.
After a while, finding no satisfaction in tormenting Liang Silai, Madam Liu eventually stopped picking on her deliberately.
“How is Shaoxian? I heard he was injured. Is it serious?” Mrs. Ye Sr. asked.
Madam Liu gritted her teeth at the mention of Ye Shaoxian. She said, “It was serious. You have no idea, Mother. His face is all bruised, and his body is covered in wounds. The doctor said these weren’t first-time injuries; they look recent.”
“Isn’t that adding injury to injury? Has he applied any medicine? Why hasn’t he come to talk about it?” Mrs. Ye Sr. asked anxiously. She urgently asked the maid to send some medicine to Ye Shaoxian.
Madam Liu, tears welling in her eyes, lamented, “What’s there to say? Everyone knows how Nanshen treated Shaoxian. Even Father turns a blind eye. What’s the use of speaking out? Not to mention Shaoxian’s inability to resist, even we are powerless against Nanshen. Isn’t Shaoxian always at Nanshen’s mercy?” “It’s Ye Nanshen again! He’s becoming more audacious!” Mrs. Ye Sr.’s roared as her expression darkened.
Madam Liu added, “Yes! It’s been so long since that incident, shouldn’t he have stopped seeking revenge by now? Besides, hasn’t his leg healed? Why does he continue to be so narrow-minded towards his cousins? We might be nothing in his eyes, but Shaoxian and Shaochen are related to him by blood.. How can Nanshen be so heartless?”
